--muted is color-mix()'d toward --base00/--bg — correct for dimmed text
on the page background, wrong for dimmed text sitting on the elevated
--purple-dim fill (badge/dropdown-item backgrounds). Badge's label/caret
used bare --muted there and mara measured it at ~1.3:1 contrast against
her theme's badge fill, essentially invisible.
--muted-on-dim mixes toward --purple-dim instead, same contrast-floor
technique as --muted itself, just anchored to the surface it's actually
used on. Applied to .ui-badge-label/.ui-badge-caret and to Dropdown's
active-item description (same bug: its row bg is --purple-dim too).
Ceiling note: even plain --fg only reaches ~3.4:1 against --purple-dim
in mara's theme, short of formal 4.5:1 AA — that's the theme's own
limit, not something the anchor choice can fix on its own. 90% gets
close to that ceiling (~3:1, more than double the old ~1.3:1) while
keeping a hint of the label/value visual distinction.
New shared Preact primitives for the per-agent terminal redesign:
- Badge (@hive/shared/badge.js): a labelled status pill. Plain <span>
when static (e.g. "alive"), a real <button> with a disclosure caret
when given onClick (e.g. opens a Dropdown, or toggles itself in
place). Same component either way so a status row reads as one
consistent set of badges regardless of which are interactive.
- Dropdown (@hive/shared/dropdown.js): a small option list anchored
directly under whatever opened it (no portal, no native <dialog> —
see the file comment for why). Closes on outside click or Escape.
This is the fix for the design guide's own named anti-example: the
agent page's model/effort pickers live in the overflow menu while the
current model/effort only show as a disconnected chip. Badge+Dropdown
composed together is that control moved inline, next to what it shows.
Demoed on swarm-ui's /components page: all Badge tones, a label-prefixed
badge, an interactive badge that opens a Dropdown (model-picker shape),
and an interactive badge that toggles itself (pause/resume shape).
Both packages build + tsc --noEmit clean.
